Yes!! He's even better than I thought he'd be.

MUCH better than Nader was too.

It feels good to have someone to vote for.

More later...


The Democrats' debate is on MSNBC right now.

    He's undisciplined.
    In the shadow of the light from a black sun
    Frigid statue standing icy blue and numb
    Where are the frost giants Ive begged for protection?
    I'm freezing

    Are you afraid, afraid to die
    Don't be afraid, afraid to try

    He's got honest passion, and I don't think it's uncontrolled. These are times to get angry... and FIGHT!

    No one's going to vote for you if they think you're easily unhinged.

    passion = sounding crazy in a soundbite ;)

    sad, but true.

    he should have said something like "if we treat the rest of the world as equals, as we should, then we wouldn't have terrorism" which I believe is what he meant.

    well, he hasn't exactly said anything like
    "YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRH!!!"

    :D

    ah, Howard Dean still cracks me up.

    gravel came within a hair's breadth of having a nutty a little earlier.

    wow, did Barak fumble on that two-city terror attack question pretty badly, and didn't answer the question at all.

    Gravel is an ass and shouldn't be invited to the next debate.

    Also, by the time you get to vote Kenny , Gravel will be long gone.

    i don't expect gravel to win. but i expect him to fight til the end.


    also, a lot of people don't like hillary clinton and call her much worse than an "ass", but should they decide who gets to debate and who doesn't?

    Hillary is giggling with joy that Dennis baited Barack.

    This is good stuff.

    I'm waiting for Gravel to break out "Who am I? Why am I here?" "This nation is in gridlock!"

    gravel and kucinich both addressed obama directly, kucinich on iran and gravel on nukes. hee hee, what a wacky fuckin' debate.

    gravel won't even be elected the team captain of his rest home shuffleboard team.

    That was interesting.

    Gravel: Kinda like every-family's grandpa who farts and yells a lot. But I sure loved what he had to say.

    Kucinich: Love. Peace. Flowers. And a very tall wife.

    Dodd: No neck. After a while, Billy and I started referring to him as the "Dick in the Suit".

    Biden: He impressed me tonight. But his mouth will get him into trouble in the long (year and a half) run.

    Richardson: I stopped counting how many times he pointed his finger, and wondered how many times he might pull a trigger.

    Edwards: This man has only one look on his face. The raised eyebrows-raise my hand a few times-and thou shall take me seriously look. His face speaks louder than his words.

    Hillary: Ditto on the above, but her face is more used to smiling a lot. Hence, the built-in Florence Henderson cheek bones (no comment on the Anne B. Davis wardrobe). Hillary has only one tone of voice. Strident. Tonight, all she did was repeat her newspaper quotes and mention a lot of words that "skeered" me: Control. Rule. When (I am president).

    Obama: My man....my man, you looked nervous. The cameras showed the sweat on your upper lip before the debate even began. You started out a little weak. The cameras made your ears look gargantuan.

    I'm still trying to understand the light bulb thing, but I think you did very well on most of the other issues. At the end of the debate, you said what you had to say and you were strong. But, that's me. I'm sure all the pundits and papers and plodders (oops, bloggers)....and Pearl Jammers....will have tons to say.

    All in all, it was an interesting night.
